WARNING! Mature content ahead!Aiden's POV
I walk through the elevator doors as they open, a reluctant Bella following me. Not a single word has been spoken between us since my outburst. I look back towards her. She's avoiding eye contact I hope what I said will at least stop her from fighting a little bit because its for her safety.
I decided to wait until our home is completely finished, details and all, before I bring her there. I also know that's going to be another struggle. I hope I can prove myself to her and win her heart back so there won't be a fight. Either way she will be living in our home.
"It's not all here, but I have men that are bringing the rest of your things." I look at her tentatively trying to gauge her reaction. She keeps her face emotionless and just nods her head. "Alright then, you go freshen up in our room for dinner."
"No." She says with a defiant tone.
"No? It wasn't suggestion darling." I take a step towards her still keeping three feet a space between. "I want my own room. I am not sleeping in the same bed as you. I am sure you have many rooms to spare."
"You will sleep in our room. With me on our bed, end of discussion." I step a foot closer my height towering over her even from two feet away.
"You will have to chain me to the headboard before I willingly sleep in the same bed as you." I smirk at her words and close the remaining distance, our faces inches apart, as I bend down over her. Her breath hitches and her shoulders tense. She is really testing my control when she starts to bite her lip.
"Don't tempt me baby." I breathe out my breath hitting her face.
She blushes a cherry red and even though this is a very sexually tense moment I can't help but find her extremely adorable all flustered like this. She is still my innocent little wife.
After a minute of our stare off she gives in. Breathing out a cute little angry huff, she swiftly turns stomping away towards our bedroom. While I wish for her to submit to me willingly I can't help but look forward to the challenge of asserting my dominance over her.
The elevator dings and some of my workers come in carrying multiple boxes stacked on one another. "Where would like us to put these?" I direct them to place them on the ground in the common area between the elevator and living room.
After they finished stacking them up. I open the first cardboard box on the top of the pile. It's filled with old clothes nothing exciting or important since they will all be replaced with a new wardrobe.
I move to the one underneath it that is filled with toiletries and such. What catches my eye are the multiple small bright orange containers. I pick one up to read the label. I don't know what the pills are so I pull out my phone and search the large hard to pronounce word.
I looked up the rest to confirm my findings. They all are prescribed to people with heart issues and an irregular heartbeat. Is Isabella sick? Why didn't she tell me. I begin to research further on my phone about the best treatment and all of her medications were at the bottom of the list. Why isn't she receiving better health care?
I don't know how long I sat there deep in thought but the sound of my bedroom door opening draws my attention.
Bella stands looking down at her hands that are holding a small stuffed animal looking very somber since our last encounter. She takes a few steps out then stops and looks up at me tentatively. Not uttering a word just holding my gaze.
"They told me you had that on your bed. I didn't think you would've kept it. "
"I could never part with it."
